Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ... if he tried very hard to be good they might come back for him! The knights told him that he must first learn to be good in his own home, that he must be his "Mother's Knight" and help her by everything he said and did. When he grew to be a man he could then go to serve the king. (The Second Mother Play and first version of the fourth are combined in the "Knights and Sad Mother" here given.) The knights may use the American flag--to which they must be loyal--or three banners, one red, one white, and one blue. Have special lesson on the flag, and teach the meaning of the colors. Red says, "Be Brave," white says, "Be Pure," and blue says, "Be True!" (These words can be written on the banners.) Speak of the first flag and its maker, Betsy Ross. Have bows of ribbon to be worn, during the day, by children showing knightly qualities. The mastery of hard lessons is worthy of comment as a knightly virtue.
